(Trying) To implement RESTful web services in .net 3.5
Published May 19, 2010 Uncategorized 2 CommentsI’m sure this should be easier than it is….
So far I’ve used WCF REST Starter Kit and been following REST in WCF guidelines.
In particular A Guide to Designing and Building RESTful Web Services with WCF 3.5 is useful as is the video “Building resource singleton services with WCF starter kit“.
Also these screencasts are worth a watch.
A record of my asp.net MVC stack
Published April 22, 2010 Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: asp.net, mvc, nhibernate
For my next project I’ll be using asp.mvc2. To this end I’ve been trying to make sense of the tools and libraries that I’ll need to accomplish this. I’m eager to avoid a complete stack like http://sharparchitecture.net/ until I’ve completely got my head around each component. I usually find it better for understanding to build from the ground up rather than to try and decompile the steps that others have taken in adopting a particular stack.
So far I’ve got the following:
Moq
Nunit
Castle Windsor
Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor Container – Part I
Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor Container – Part II
Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor Container – Part III
Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection with Castle Windsor Container – Part IV
Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection pattern – Martin Fowler
Fluent NHibernate

ASP.MVC2
This list will likely increase and or change as I hone in the components that I really see advantage in.
Thanks to all those who attended the recent 21st Century Researcher Profiles Workshop. I always find it really interesting to talk with academics about their use of technology and the range of views about the role that social media can (or cannot) play in managing their professional reputation.
As promised here are the slides and handouts from the session. I would also really appreciate any feedback from the session and have included a link to a (very brief) online feedback form.
The slides
The handout
I’ve been spending some time recently thinking about the topic of learning designs and the sharing of ideas, resources etc. Of particular interest is:
- How do we articulate our designs?
- How do we encourage collaboration on designs?
There has been a lot of activity over at Cloudworks in relation to this, not least from a recent Olnet workshop looking at these issues.
I’ve used a visual design tool called Compendium LD to create and document a learning design for some training I’m due to deliver. The training session involves facilitating trainers in looking at how they make greater use of technology in their training. The design shows a sequence of activities and links to the resources that will be used in the session (apart from the slides which are embedded below 
) (The learning design is best viewed in Internet Explorer as the links to appear to work in FireFox 
)
What I’d like to know is:
- Does the learning design with links to resources enable other trainers to utilise the design?
- What’s missing?
- What is good/ bad about the learning design?
- Are there better ways to present or collate these artifacts?
